General
Product type	Neutral terminal
Utilization	for CI-K5, T5-./I5, CI-K5-T5-., P3-./I5
Manufacturer	Eaton

The neutral conductor terminal K-CI-K5 from Eaton is a specific component for the safe and orderly connection of a fifth conductor, for example a neutral conductor, in electrical switchgear. It is designed for use in insulating material enclosures of the CI-K5 series as well as in the variants T5-./I5, CI-K5-T5-., and P3-./I5. The terminal serves as a fixed connection element in the enclosure and enables a structured and reliable connection option for additional conductors, particularly in installations where an additional neutral conductor is required.

Applications
The terminal is used in industrial and commercial electrical installations where a clear and secure connection of neutral conductors within enclosures is necessary. It is particularly suitable for installations executed according to applicable standards for electrical installations, especially in enclosures with insulating material housings of the CI-K5 series. The use is in combination with compatible enclosures, also offered by Eaton, to ensure a compatible and standardized installation.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The neutral conductor terminal K-CI-K5 is a mechanical component that enables a secure and durable connection of an additional conductor. It is specifically designed for use in enclosures where a clear separation and assignment of conductors is required. The terminal is inserted into the designated mounting openings of the enclosures and allows for a simple yet stable fixation of the conductor. The use is in installations where a fifth conductor – for example, a neutral conductor – must be connected via a separate terminal to ensure electrical safety and the functionality of the installation.

Technology Explained Simply
The terminal operates on the principle of a fixed, mechanical connection. It is installed in the enclosure and enables a secure fixation of the conductor through a special shape and material selection. The material selection ensures high electrical conductivity as well as mechanical stability. The terminal is designed to fit exactly into the designated enclosures of the CI-K5 series and enables clean, orderly wiring. The installation requires no additional tools or aids, as the terminal is mounted directly into the enclosure.

Compatibility and Accessories
The neutral conductor terminal K-CI-K5 is specifically developed for use in insulating material enclosures of the CI-K5 series. Compatible enclosure variants include, for example, the CI-K5-160-TS with support rail, the CI-K5-125-M with mounting plate, the CI-K5-125-TS with support rail, and the CI-K5-160-M with mounting plate. These enclosures provide the necessary mounting openings and fastening options to install the terminal securely and stably. The combination with these enclosures ensures a standardized and safe installation in industrial enclosures.

Mounting and Installation
The installation of the neutral conductor terminal is carried out directly into the designated enclosure, where the terminal is inserted into the designated openings. The installation requires no additional tools, as the terminal mechanically fits into the enclosure and is fixed there. The conductor is secured by the integrated clamping mechanism, ensuring a secure and durable connection. The installation is part of the overall enclosure installation and is carried out in accordance with applicable standards and regulations for electrical installations.

Advantages in Operation
The use of the neutral conductor terminal K-CI-K5 ensures clear and structured wiring within the enclosure. The terminal enables a secure and durable connection of the fifth conductor, which increases electrical safety and facilitates maintenance and fault diagnosis. Compatibility with CI-K5 enclosures ensures standardized installation, reducing installation time and potential error sources. The terminal is robust and designed for use in industrial environments, ensuring high reliability in operation.
